Harry Potter Prequel or Sequel: Hoax or Hype?
By Therese Walsh | November 9, 2007 |
Hmm, I’m not sure I believe this one. Check out THIS SITE and chime in on your thoughts after viewing. Is this a Warner Bros. flick in the making? A prequel? A sequel? Or is this “secret test marketing” all a hoax? An interesting article on the site is also HERE.

I’m going to go with hoax. It defies credulity that Warner Brothers wouldn’t own up to the project when there’s a ton of $$ to be made.
My guess is that next week, JKR will have to sic her lawyers on the website.
I’m with you, plenty of things don’t sit right–like beginning a new HP-esque movie before the HP series has finished. But then the news appears on BookTrade…and The Book Standard…
Hoax. If you change the date on your computer, it will trick the countdown on the website. Use the password and see the content. Too easy. Also, if you go to whois.net, then you will see it is registered to someone in PA. Not sneaky enough, if you ask me.
Good investigating, Tash.
